5 Behavior Management Teacher Tips
"Writing
Checks For Points System"
Olga, Teacher |
"In regards to points, my kids got bored. So, I made them
check books where they earn credit as they complete work. I also
use a response cost system where they have to pay fines. They love
it because they feel like little adults and will do anything to
write a check. This also reinforces math concepts. I usually use
it to buy computer time, etc."

"Bubble
Gum Machine"
Trina Smith, Grade 4 Teacher |
"I have a rather big hand drawn bubble gum machine hanging
on the front chalk board. My students are encouraged to fill the
machine in order to receive a class reward. I stick paper gumballs
onto the machine when the class is caught doing something good....proper
line up, good listening etc. I also take away gum balls when the
class is overly noisy etc.. The kids love seeing the machine fill
up with gumballs. When they achieve a full machine, I give them
a popcorn party with a movie, extra gym time, or any other appropriate
reward. It works for me!"

"Shoulders
Up, Shoulders Back"
Marge Werden, Teacher |
"When I line up the students to go home, to go to computer class,
to go to lunch, I say, "Shoulders Up, Shoulders Back!"
I first explained to them (in the beginning of the school year)
about GREAT posture...and for some reason (smile on my face) this
causes them to line up in a WONDERFUL straight line with no talking!"

"This
is a Holdup"
Julia A. Powers, 4th Grade Teacher |
"We had been studying the "Wild West", so when I needed
their attention, I would say loudly, " Okay guys, this is a
hold-up." This meant for them to freeze where they were and
put their hands in the air. The novelty of it was what made it work.
But, it did work. I have used it this entire year, and the kids
still giggle about it."

"Attention-Getter"
Nikki Larry, Gr. 8 teacher |
"Our principal uses this one at assemblies and it works in a classroom
too. "Clap once if you can hear me," he says in a normal speaking
voice. Of course, only the first few rows hear him and respond.
So the next command is, "Clap twice if you can hear me." By the
third clap, the entire gym is silent and clapping in unison."
